On its path toward development and evolution, each walnut is in movement at every moment, to complete a cycle which is part of its nature. Through this process of growth, all walnuts progress in their personal development with slight differences existing between them. These differences in shapes and the variety of forms themselves create a kind of dynamism and a collective movement in which we observe the formation of interwoven structures and diverse figures. The deeper we go, the more closely bound these relationships become, and we encounter a more expansive network which is dynamically active within itself. In order to demonstrate and praise the grandeur of this collaboration, I exhibit the sequenced solidarity of the walnuts alongside sounds simulated to resemble that of neutron stars (pulsars); these are massive supergiants that might not fit into this arrangement in terms of dimension, but which are the smallest and densest stars ever known in the stellar universe. These stars, formed as a result of the explosion of supernovas, spin rapidly while emitting continuous pulses of radiant energy along magnetic lines within themselves and ‘turning on and off’ at a constant frequency. The complex vibrations of their hot core release energy and, with a telescope, one can detect these vibrations as fluctuations of light or temperature on the surface of a star. The synchronicity of these events is pleasantly astonishing, as they all pulsate in a single world. Perhaps the only way to appreciate this consonance and comprehend the true scope of this collective movement is to observe, observation which takes place when understanding the depth of motion, thus blessing it with greater value than mere sight. In these moments, we are fully immersed in what lies ahead
